Quick Trip

I was in Iowa Wednesday afternoon to Thursday afternoon. It was a quick trip for business, in and out. I was able to get everything done on a long, hot, sticky, dirty Wednesday. That provided me with a nice Thursday to drive back to Wheaton in a leisurely fashion.

Finally, after weeks of gray and clouds and moisture, I got up to great weather.

I took the windows off but not the top. I decided it was a ways to drive home and I wasn't quite ready to have a sunburn although my left arm did get pink.

This was taken at the scenic overlook north of Guttenberg. The sky was as clear as I remembered it. Clouds would have been embarrassed to be on the horizon. The air temperature was perfect for driving with the windows off. I couldn't have asked for a better day to travel. It was so worth the stiff back and tired legs when I got home.

About Me

It's taken awhile to realize I'm truly in the middle of the ages. I'm a sometimes grown-up but if you want to walk in the rain without an umbrella, I'm all in. I like cats and reading; writing and cooking; chocolate and playing World of Warcraft; hot tea and hot cocoa; the Iowa Hawkeyes and jazz; counted cross-stitch and Scotland; just sitting on the deck doing nothing but sitting and visiting museums to expand my knowledge; watching the sun come up and standing in a cornfield at night trying to find the constellations. Thanks to rheumatoid arthritis, I'm walking a road I didn't expect to be walking, but I'm trying to make that route fun. You'll find I comment on all sorts of things. Thanks for stopping by.
